Animated toys and scale advice for King George IX

[Kyle]

The problem with Animated (and many other series) is:
- If you have robot modes in scale then the vehicle modes would not be in scale.
- If you have vehicle modes in scale then the robot modes would not be in scale.

And for the purpose of more scale comparison...

thanks guys - i know scale was never going to be simple, but with different variations of toys and me only wanting one, id like a best fit scenario...

I’d say if you like the designs buy them all regardless of the size.

You can’t really loose, there fun to transform and you could displayed characters in both modes and some will also pair up nicely for mini displays/battles.

The vehicle designs are stylized and interesting so having 2 versions of core characters doesn’t seen to be a problem with me. I already have 2 versions of Earth prime and Cybertron Megatron (voyager and deluxe) and like them all.

Voyger prime is great with the other Autobots and seems like he will display well with leader Megatron. His robot mode also looks good with either or both deluxe cabs. Cybertron prime is also a good partner to Voyager Megatron, so that’s lots of options/fun already.

Leader bulkheads size seems to fit better with the other Autobots but the Voyager is nice in both modes and could be a partner to Lugnut or use to display him in both modes.

I can’t wait for leader bulkhead and Megatron and activators bumblebee.

If there weren't so many other toys i wanted, i'd probably do what TF76 suggested. It may be the case that when the sales hit, you'll be able to pick up the ones you don't want quite as much for a cheaper price. I opted for leader bulkhead (arrived today!) but if i saw a voyager for cheap later, i'd probably pick one up as well.

Kyle, that family pick is great!!! Especially Ratchet!

And, IMO, you've got as good a chance of getting a Leader Lugnut as you do of getting a Move Leader Bonecrusher.

There were 3 Leader moulds in the Movie line - which sort-of means there will be 3 Leader moulds in the Animated line.

Maybe my reasoning is wwwwaaaaaaayyyy off...

By your reasoning:

1. Earth Mode Megatron
2. Bulkhead
3. Ultra Magnus

Nice pics Kyle!

To create a nice cast...

Leader Megs
Leader Bulkhead
Voyager Prime
Voyager Starscream
Deluxe BA
Activator BB (I don't care after seeing Kyle's pics. Activator BB looks perfect))
Deluxe Prowl
Deluxe Ratchet
Deluxe Lockdown

Great list!!

Personally I prefer Voyager Bulkhead over the Leader, mainly because the Leader version has far too many additional weapons that we never see Bulkhead have.

Leader Bulkhead is still my preferred choice!

I'm also kind of disappointed with Lugnut being a Voyager yet, his height can't be compared to a deluxe size figure! How upset can this be...

I was hoping they'd have a Leader Lugnut too! But if they don't, I can deal with it! My main problem was with Bulkhead, because part of his "character" is that he's a GIANT!

By your reasoning:

1. Earth Mode Megatron
2. Bulkhead
3. Ultra Magnus

I think that's exactly how it's gonna be

- If you have vehicle modes in scale then the robot modes would not be in scale.

The problem with Transformers is that the robot modes are never in scale and neither are the vehicle modes......

Whats a scale-fanatic to do?
